The [Nostalgia Thread] - In Which 80s/90s Animuus Are Discussed

So I was sitting in an auditorium today, waiting to hear some orchestral music, and I noticed this eight-year-old kid sitting in the row in front of me.

And I was just idly listening to my iPod prior to the show, and a few tracks from the first Pokemon album started playing on my iPod.

Suddenly, I realized that the kid sitting in front of me was about the same age I was when I first got the CD version of the Pokemon album, which has since been lost to the sands of time.

It also occurred to me that if I asked him to listen to a couple of tracks, he'd start asking me about Dawn and Max, instead of Misty and Brock... Or maybe even a few of the characters from the Bakugan anime.

And this made me feel like kind of an old dude.

SE++, what recent experiences made you realize that shit that was popular when you were a kid is no longer quite as popular?

I was putting on my Twitter this morning the things I planned to do, and then remembered that was everyone did in the dorms when I first went to college. We would put in our AIM away messages a list like "class, lunch, rehearsal, blah blah blah" in case someone needed to find us (nearly all of my friends did this).

Now people just do it real time, or text people if they need them. I don't even know anyone who uses AIM.

Also, I took a summer lab course and there were a couple high schoolers in it. They told me they wished they had grown up in the 90's and I wanted to die right there.

please don't ask a stranger's child to listen to your music and then to follow you to your car please
